Hello All,
I've been playing with Pharo off and on for a few years now. I have thought a lot about where and how I could potentially use it. I have an idea about how I would really like it to work, but up to now I haven't had the chance to pursue it. I think I may even have had a discussion about it with someone on this list at some point. Due to some recent changes in my situation, It looks I may be at a point that I can look into things more seriously.
I am in a possibly similar situation. I have also been wanting better tools for my application development work for some years now, and this year it has finally bubbled up to the top of my priority list. My applications are not based on Pharo but I want to use Pharo for the tooling. The basic design I am following is a frontend/backend split. The frontend is Pharo with the "Moldable Tools" concept i.e. spotter, inspector, Roassal visualizations, etc. The backend is nix i.e. integrating diverse tools (profilers, debuggers, protocol analyzers, statistical models, physical hardware resources, etc.) I am building network equipment and mostly need diagnostic tools for profiling and troubleshooting issues after they have occurred. So my emphasis is not so much live coding as "what interesting observations can we make about these 1000 core dump files from various environments and software versions?" I hope that the design will be practical and that the project will grow to support other people's applications too. Just now it is very early days. Link: https://github.com/studio/studio Cheers, -Luke
